This bridge carried the relatively short lived (opened 1925, closed to passengers 1932 and completely 1965) railway that passed through Wombourne, providing a useful way for freight trains to avoid congested routes around Wolverhampton, Birmingham, and the Black Country. Most of the route has been converted to a very pleasant footpath and cycleway.
